The Islamic State, which metastasized from a group of militants seeking to overthrow the Syrian government into a marauding army gobbling up chunks of the Middle East, gained momentum early on from a calculated decision by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to go easy on it, according to people close to the regime.

Wrong.ISIS originated in Iraq and entered Syria. ISIS or IS as they are now branding it did not originate in Syria. Or should I say metastasize to promote the Obama meme equating ISIS &cancer? Total PR/spin work.

If we understand ISIS to be a left behind army, working on behalf
of another master, then the application of pressure on Maliki amp;;
the collusion between the Kurds of Iraq and ISIS makes perfect sense.Where or when did ISI/ ISIS/ISIL get started? Note: I am going to call this Left behind army - ISIS from here on in. Because they are one Army broken down in subdivisions like any standard army- top down organization. So ISIS. Easier to recall.CFR AND Al-Monitor

- The roots of ISIS go back to Oct. 15, 2006, when what is known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) was established.

-The group emerged in the ashes of the U.S.-led invasion to oust Saddam Hussein as al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI)

-After a U.S. counterterrorism campaign and Sunni efforts to maintain
local security in what was known as the Tribal Awakening, AQI violence
diminished from its peak in 2006–2007. But since the withdrawal of U.S. forces in late 2011, the group has increased attacks on mainly Shiite targets in
what is seen as an attempt to reignite conflict between Iraq's Sunni
minority and the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki”

ISIS originated, rising from the ashes like a goddam phoenix, in Iraq!

WSJ Paragraph 2- Earlier in the three-year-old Syrian uprising, Mr. Assad decided to mostly avoid fighting the Islamic State to enable it to cannibalize the more secular rebel group supported by the West, the Free Syrian Army, said Izzat Shahbandar, an Assad ally and former Iraqi lawmaker who was Baghdad's liaison to Damascus. The goal, he said, was to force the world to choose between the regime and extremists

Mr Assad has been fighting "ISIS" all along, because there are ZERO moderate or secular rebels in Syria, supported by the West. That's right none. Not a one! Long time readers will knowI call these fighters NATO/Israel's Islamist army cause that is exactly what they areI don't care what brand they are being promoting as- they are NATO/Israel's Islamist fighters

Cont with WSJ lies- The Islamic State, also known by the acronyms ISIS and ISIL, has emerged recently as a major threat to the entire region and beyond. Its seizure of territory in neighboring Iraq triggered American airstrikes, and its execution this week of kidnapped American journalist James Foley prompted President Barack Obama to vow to continue the U.S. air war against the group in Iraq and to relentlessly pursue the killers. General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the group can't be defeated without choking off its operations in Syria.

"ISIS", aka Nato/Israel's Islamist army, seizure of territory in it's birthplace of Iraq was not a surprise to the US- It was infact very beneficial to the US and company so they could enact a regime change, create the new petro state of Kurdistan and start bombing Syria!

Flashback yet again! -June 14/14 & August 14/14

Iraq regime change operation- First mentioned by me, here one the blog, two months before Obomba achieved his goal-

It’s time we contemplated, quite seriously, the possibility of a
post-conflict Kurdistan. It would mean changing the borders of Iraq; it
would mean infuriating Turkey, but it’s looking increasingly like
reality.

Of course what the blathering idiot from the Spectator didn't mention is creating a post conflict Kurdistan would require altering the borders of Syria But, then that might give away a bit too much of the agenda, right?
Kurdistan creation in Syria- a foregone conclusion according to this guy- Syrian Kurdistan's status will be
recognised: FM Salih Gedo 22.8.2014 - How does he know? Plans to bomb sovereign Syrian territory- let's count the reports?

"To your question, can
they be defeated without addressing that part of their organization
which resides in Syria? The answer is no," he said. "That will have to
be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a
nonexistent border.

"And that will come when we have a coalition in the region that takes on the task of defeating ISIS over time," Dempsey added

Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
Thursday that any strategy against ISIS would have to include action
against militants in Syria, and Rhodes didn’t disagree with that
assertion Friday.
“Well, we certainly agree that any strategy to deal with the [ISIS]
organization has to deal with both sides of the border, Iraq and Syria.

Of course all this talk of bombing Syria was made possible by that very convenient, faked beheading of whoever we are supposed to believe was in that video. A timely beheading that, of course, benefits the US/NATO/Israel agenda so perfectly. Cause the beheading does nothing for Syria!

WSJ's lying, of course,continues - Now WSJ is going to inform you of this non-truth

The Assad regime now appears to be shifting away from its early reluctance to engage the group.
In June, Syria launched airstrikes on the group's headquarters in Raqqa in northern Syria, the first large-scale offensive against the militant group since it rose to power a year ago.

As I have already made abundantly clear over these 3 plus years- Syria has been fighting NATO's Islamic Terror groups funded and trained by the US/Israel/Turkey and the GCC nations all along!

This is one older example of the moderates vs extremist narrative. (or at least as far back as I could find right now, but, I think there are other posts addressing this nonsense) Branding some of the NATO Islamists as 'terrorists' vs moderates.
They are all terrorists- They have been terrorizing Syrians for more
then 3 years now- They are bought, paid, armed, trained, fed, medically
treated for with Western/NATO/US/Israeli/British/French/Canadian and GCC
dollars

By challenging moderate Syrian rebels,(? phony narrative, there are no moderates) the group, the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria, has forced them to fight on two fronts and divert
resources from their battle with the government of President Bashar
al-Assad, the official said.

Kerry then went on about Assad running for re-election and how this wasn't beneficial to peace

If he thinks he’s going to solve problems by running for re-election I
can say to him, I think, with certainty this war will not end as long as
that’s the case or he is there,” Mr. Kerry said, referring to Mr.
Assad.

Kerry and company made dam sure the war on Syria didn't end. He said with certainty the war was going to go on and he made it so! Kerry didn't care what the Syrian's wanted. So, when Mr Assad handily won the election well the US just had to do something

And if you pay attention to dates, because they are important, Bashar Assad was soundly re-elected by Syrians- who voted in droves, including while in refugee camps of other nations, June of this year!

Recap- Assad wins big. In a timely fashion ISIS advances in Iraq in order to enable the regime change of the democratically elected leader in Iraq. Allowing for US troop buildup, bombing runs, lots of armed killers and prepping for what? It appears as if a long planned move on Syria is in the works! Convenient!

June 03/14- "While
the Syrians make their choice, democratically, at the ballot box the
global fascist dictator, Obama, plots against the tiny sovereign, daring
to be independent, nation.

President Barack Obama’s foreign policy speech at West Point last week
was in large part a list of all the things he doesn’t want to do. He
doesn’t want to withdraw from the world. At the same time, he doesn’t
want to use military force to solve every problem. Above all, he doesn’t
want to get stuck in another war in the Middle East, or anywhere else,
for that matter.

But there’s an exception to the Obama Doctrine of restraint: terrorism.
Obama is ready and willing to use US military power — indirectly if
possible, directly if needed — against terrorists who pose a threat to
the US

June 03/14 continues-That’s why, even as he has withdrawn troops from Iraq and Afghanistan,
the president has sent military advisors to Africa. And that’s why,
almost unnoticed, he has approved a gradual but significant escalation
of US action on the most complicated and dangerous battlefield of all:
Syria.

And finally I want to end this very lengthy post by first saying thanks for staying with it

And then, share this quote left by an anonymous commenter

barf bag at the ready! finally, why ISIS wont fight israel./..killing 'hypocrites' (other Muslims who do not follow its strict doctrine) more important!'ISIS’s reply reads as follows:“We haven’t given orders to kill the Israelis and the Jews. The war against the nearer enemy, those who rebel against the faith, is more important. Allah commands us in the Quran to fight the hypocrites, because they are much more dangerous than those who are fundamentally. Allah gave imperative priority to fight Hypocrites and who rebelled against the faith than staging war with infidels (those who openly not believe in Islam) so we must first annihilate the liars who pretend to be Muslim and later on we will plan certainly how to fight with infidels such as Israelis and West.'etchttp://awdnews.com/top-news/9477-why-isis-won%E2%80%99t-attack-israel-anytime-in-the-future.htmlif they want to annihilate 'the liars' theyd best begin with mass suicide! this is the most brazen up front prove-me-wrong hypocrisy, lies and whatever, shielded by their qurans, ie yet seen ...no doubt theyve sucked in many sunnis who are persuaded by the rhetoric

Think about this?

War is .....

...THE CONTINUATION OF STATE POLICY, BY OTHER MEANS

.......A POLITICAL ACTIVITY IN WHICH VIOLENCE IS USED TO BEND THE WILL OF YOUR ENEMY TO THAT OF YOUR OWN

Stop being Manipulated by the Elites

For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [outlaws] and then punish them.´ - Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)

Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society,"

"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
